Farm Women Walk Many Miles With Water
A USDA engineer found a farm woman over 60 years carried water four trips daily from a well 20 feet from the house and 10 feet down. Over six decades she moved about 7 000 barrels, the distance New York to San Francisco and back, plus 100 trips up Pike's Peak. Extension agents urge water systems and waste disposal, with cost and install literature available from the A and M College. A shipment of cot ton for sulphate ammonia testing arrived at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, after the bags held up well. It is a penitentiary offense to transport or turn losses a wolf in Texas.
